McNamara backs Kevin Sinfield to sway decider

England coach Steve McNamara is hoping Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield can guide his side to victory in the Four Nations decider against New Zealand in Hull.

England must win to secure a place in next Saturday's final with Australia.

Two years ago, they had to beat the Kiwis to reach the final and Sinfield, playing at hooker, was the man of the match in a 20-12 victory.

"[Sinfield's] influence on this team, as I've said right from the start, is very, very big," said McNamara.
